Local economy in 3 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 55% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Natural resources & mining, $109,599/yr) pays 5.0× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $21,759/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 14 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.

Rural counties typically have 1-2 District Court judges sitting on a multi-county district. County Court at Law judges (limited jurisdiction) and Constitutional County Court judges (presided over by the elected County Judge) are separately allocated and not counted here.
